List of Basic Cube Utilities (BCU) in Madagascar. Operations listed here can throw away data or fill in with zeros, but should not create new values or alter existing ones -- those belong to the Numerical Methods program list.

An overview of all task-centric pages can be found in the main Task-centric program list.

All program names below should be prefixed with "sf".

I/O and file format conversions

ASCII, binary file

  • Convert the binary file of a RSF dataset between different formats (binary, ASCII): dd

SEG-Y file

SU file

File operations

This section contains physics-agnostic methods for slicing, dicing, adding together files, etc:

Basic operations

  • Display basic information about RSF files: in
  • Display the size of RSF data forks: sizes
  • Copy a dataset: cp
  • Move a dataset: mv
  • Remove RSF files together with their data: rm
  • Print out data values: disfil

Operation on file content

  • Window a portion of the dataset: window
  • Transpose two axes in a dataset: transp
  • Concatenate datasets: cat or merge
  • Convert real data to complex (by adding zero imaginary part): rtoc
  • Extract real part of a complex dataset: real
  • Extract imaginary part of a complex dataset: imag
  • Create a complex dataset from its real and imaginary parts: cmplx
  • Rotate a portion of one or more axes in the data hypercube: rotate
  • Zero a portion of the dataset: cut
  • Pad a dataset with zeros: pad
  • Combine several datasets by interleaving: interleave
  • Pad and interleave traces: lpad
  • Compute Ni+1 x Ni+2 x ...: leftsize
  • Reverse one or more axes in the data hypercube: reverse

Header operations

  • Input parameters into a header: put
  • Output parameters from the header: get
  • Display the content of a header file: headerattr
  • Zero a portion of a dataset based on a header mask: headercut
  • Mathematical operations, possibly on header keys: headermath
  • Sort a dataset according to a header key: headersort
  • Window a dataset based on a header mask: headerwindow
